I remembered that I've not had a check-up at the dentist for a while and was going to make an appointment, but then I realised that I'm now 18. So I was wondering if I now have to pay for a check-up? I'm a full-time student and I'm in Scotland

IF the rules are the same in Scotland as England, which I think they are but I'm not 100% sure (the link below seems to imply they are).

Nope, you are entitled to free dental check-ups if you are under 19 and in full-time education.

Once you turn 19 you may still be entitled to free check-ups if you are on a low income (probably, if you're a uni student without loads of savings). It might be worth starting to fill in the form (HC1) now ready as it is a pain!
